We had to do 'something' or we wouldn't get a treat. Not sure they still do that in Scotland but they still celebrate Halloween. The neighbours didn't mind giving out the candy, they just wanted to be entertained, I think. Happy Halloween everyone.

Although it wasn't that common to trick or treat when I was younger in this part of the world, there is one time that stands out in my memory. Me and a group of friends who were around twelve years old, went from door to door together. One of the last doors, an old man came running around the side of his house throwing stones at us and yelling. Something about he hoped he wasn't around to see our generation running the country. What a grumpy old geezer! Luckily, we were out of his range and no-one was hurt.<br /><br />clarksnelson at clear.net.nzLaVerne Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10418742073687153863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1523632923445205575.post-11340648095003873402012-10-28T17:53:55.033-07:002012-10-28T17:53:55.033-07:00Ugh that's awful!

Hers was the only porch light not lit on Halloween. My sibs and I figured that was because she was out cruising on her broom to celebrate her holiday. ;-)Mackenzie Crownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14495228596521457813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1523632923445205575.post-29592646621527098472012-10-28T05:19:07.046-07:002012-10-28T05:19:07.046-07:00Becky -
